I am all booked and ready for the OBTS 2017 conference in Providence, Rhode Island. This will be my first OBTS conference experience and my first time in New England, excluding a connection at Boston airport on the way to Nova Scotia for a conference. The conference is a teaching conference for management educators and is focused on practical teaching ideas and demonstrations, so I am looking forward to seeing and exploring some new teaching ideas. I am set to give a 30 minute session entitled ‘Flying High in Innovation Space: Exploring innovation opportunities’. June looks set to be a month with lots of travel, but I am looking forward to the adventures and the development of my teaching and research practices.
